"Day 3 of Coin Wars and we've had quite an upheaval of the leaderboard! After two days of vicious sabotage, 2nd grade has been knocked off the leaderboard! Kindergarten came out on top today! Congratulations to "Yoshi" and a daily prize will be distributed in class. 5th grade has climbed up to 3rd place and 1st grade continues to hang around the top 3, but just shy of that top spot! Tomorrow, plan for even more fun! All our challengers have hit an item box and bananas have been thrown into the challenge. On Thursday, November 16, all online donations will be counted as SABOTAGE only! We have reached $2728 of our $7000 goal. Choose who to sabotage tomorrow at https://broncobunchpto.membershiptoolkit.com/form/m/263232 Good luck to all teams!"
“Congrats to the 2nd Grade, Team Princess Peach! You are in first place after Day 1 of Change Wars and have won a special prize to be distributed in your class! Don’t forget to continue to add pennies, dollars, checks or donate online to further your team’s score and use your silver coins to sabotage other teams throughout the week. We are currently at $633 of our $7,000 Goal. Could 2nd grade win again this year or will a sabotage effort stop them? It's too soon to tell! Thank you to all who have participated so far!
